What he is saying is the complete opposite of what i have been lead to believe over the years, keep fridge /freezer as full as possible to conserve electric.

So in my opinion Phansa is talking nonsense.

Pure physics - Not empty nor full, BUT the energy-efficient trick is to keep both your refrigerator and freezer around 3/4 full at all times - this to allow air to circulate ... ????

only Phuket is important... The rest of Thailand not. Get the whole island vaccinated with all available jabs and in the meantime health workers, who are in close contact with possible patients have to wait....  

Well, it's not about Phuket and Phuket only, but preferably at golf locations because some short sighted rule riders have found out that it is important for the tourism to have vaccinated all the "golf caddy boys" over health personell, olderly and persons with underlying sicknesses - with other words and unfortunately it seems to be all about wrong priorities and nothing about common sense - LOS at its best ....

Why? Because of the amount of available properties being huge and the Areas being overbuilt.?

The real killer is the inflated exchange rate topped with political unrest and visa challenges. Then it helps little to entice with free furniture or gold to close property deals ....

Phuket has a population of around 480,000 so he wants less than 1/4  inoculated before tourists start arriving . I for one would want at least 60% done even though only fully vaccinated tourist can go there .

 ... and to put this timeline (50k per week) in a national perspective it will take approx (70m/50000x7/365) 27 years to vaccinate all or approx 19 years to vaccinate 70% of the population - not that fast, is it ... ????

As this article does not tell us what the base figure which has shown a 150% increase is; then it is meaningless.

 

Last year they had 100,000, then this year 250,000. Last year 10, this year 25.

 

It's just TATtery under another name!

0-zero mulitpled with any number is still 0-zero ...

RE - She appeared to be drunk but told police that she wasn't and that she would take care of everything.

What does  $389,835 Mean ?

Is that to retire for the rest of your life?  at what age?  and  how many years would that last you. ?

 

As they said - 14 years as a pensioner meaning roughly  (11mthb/14yrs) 785.000thb/yearly which is equal to a monthly pension of 65k/thb per month which again is the required minimum level of income in LOS today to qualify for a non-im-o visa based on pure income ...

With other words, the wording "savings" used in the article is just misleading - not unlike many other things from that edge ...

If the cops, whose duty it is to uphold the law could get out there and actually stop every speeding driver and red light runner they might start to get somewhere. All the meaningless chat in the world will do absolutely zero, but it is all I have ever seen in my many years here. Sadly I suspect the 2022 and 2027 numbers will remain fairly in line with what we see now.

RE - If the cops, whose duty it is to uphold the law could get out there and actually stop every speeding driver and red light runner they might start to get somewhere.

* Not that easy especially during a time when the there are no tourists to stop since the locals seems to be more or less excempted from the trafic law ...

I have to admit that compared to my home country of America, Thailand has done an outstanding job with the pandemic. I truly hope that the vaccine rollout will be a success. 

 

If you are seeking to discover any type of success, first of all you need to look another direction ... 

RE - Thailand to increase speed limit to 120kph ...

* Prior to even think about any increase in speed limits, far better driving training should have been introduced and demonstrably reduced accidents significantly. Until that happens the correct thing to do is to reduce the speed limit to max 20 kph - on all roads nationwide .... 

With other words, you must learn to crawl before to run ...

Peace ... 

RE Jiap was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and detained in custody. 

The charge may be upgraded if the medical report indicates that the injuries suffered by the Chilean are more serious.

* In such brutal cases, blood tests of the abuser should have been mandatory as behaviour like this is most likely triggered by the use of yaba or ice - but of course such realities isn't good for the image of the family friendly resort Pattaya so better to cover it all up with a fruit basket ...

It is in cases like this you really see how far behind LOS actually is - sad, but true ...

RE - A survey carried out by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) London office has suggested that up to 6 million British tourists want to travel to Thailand in 2021.

RE - Pattaya: Foreigner "mercilessly" attacked with repeated kicks to the face in Walking Street

At 2 am today a 24 year old Chilean national called Salvatore C. reported to Pol Capt Phuttarak Sornkhamhan that he had been attacked by a motorcycle taxi rider in Walking Street.

* Hmm, seems like a undercover LB dressed like a motorcycle taxi ...????
